eLock Integration With Fleet Management Software

eLocks or electronic locks are locking devices that are operated through electronic currents and cannot be unlocked without specific commands and signals. They do not open with keys and are robust enough not to be physically broken. They are ideal for sensitive consignment transportation and safe asset deliveries.

eLocks are a great asset for businesses looking to secure their consignment and have an extra layer of locational tracking for their assets. They can be used for:

- Asset tracking

- Security services

- Scheduled locking and unlocking

- Unlocking area regulations

eLocks are better than eSeals for three specific reasons:

- eLocks can be reused while eSeals cannot. Once a seal is broken through fixed commands, it cannot be resealed. Elocks on the other hand, can be locked and unlocked multiple times.

- With the right fleet management software integration, consignment managers can receive notifications for whenever the lock is opened or closed. eSeals, on the other hand, cannot be resealed, so the managers only receive two notifications - when they’re sealed and broken.

- Most good eLocks come with in-built GPS tracking devices. eSeals, on the other hand, don’t. Therefore, eLocks do not only lock away assets but also track them in real-time.

eLocks add an extra layer of security to the fleet management system as compared to traditional locks.

- Traditional locks can be opened with keys that can be easily duplicated. eLocks, on the other hand, generally have very verified and complicated ways of being unlocked.

- Traditional locks can also be easily physically broken while eLocks are extremely physically robust.

- Managers don’t receive any notification or data regarding the container locking and unlocking activities with traditional locks. However, with eLocks, every locking and unlocking activity is duly noted with time and locational data and is notified to the concerned people.

- Traditional locks cannot add a layer of asset tracking to your supply chain. eLocks, on the other hand, can.

Therefore, if you are looking to safeguard your fleet and assets to their optimum level, eLocks are the way to go!
